The Barclays Premier League thread 2015/2016

[Kaney]

Koscielny puts us ahead, against the run of play from the sounds of it.

[The Lusophone]

Rooney scores a backheel to put us 2-1 up.

[Gorka]

Garry Monk would have won it.

[Summers]

Bye Premiership! 

[Dan]

Just now, Summers said:

Bye Premiership! 

At least you gave your second favourite team a lifeline >_>

[Summers]

We did score a worldie though!

[Thrilla]

Shit day for bets and fantasy football

[FLiam]

Shit performance, great result. No thanks to Petr Cech though, top display from him.

Koscielny the only player to give me any sorts of dream team points today.

[Just Joe]

Thank god for that, we usually gift wins to teams that are as bad or are worse than us. We nearly did when Borini gave the ball away that led to Villa's goal.

City just woke up

[Baddar]

Two great goals from City to win that.

[MDK]

Using Motorhead on MOTD? Nice touch. 

[Moses Julep]

Villa are really sinking to Derby 07/08 levels of shit here.

[Colly]

Even down to nicking easy points from Newcastle.

Did the Watford goal end up a Kolarov OG? Looked on target to me.

[Lineker]

Former Wigan defender Steve Gohouri has been found dead.

[Noah]

We beat Swansea to help you guys in the relegation zone, so you're welcome.

It'll probably eventually be ruled an OG anyway (everywhere is going with OG at the moment),  as it wasn't a shot on goal that led to the touch from the defender. Interesting point though. I just saw the Kolarov touch and called the OG.

Talking of, I'm convinced the Schweinsteiger one against Watford earlier this season would have crept in at the far post, and could easily have been his goal.

John Mikel Obi's presence continues to be the only notable distinction between Guus Hiddink's team selections and those of Jose Mourinho... Today he starts in central midfield at the expense of Matic, while Fabregas returns to the side.

Courtois, Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Azpilicueta, Mikel, Fabregas, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Costa

We shall jut have to see how many out of the front six actually turn up today...

[stokeriño]

And Hazard is injured within 15 minutes. Lovely.

[Baddar]

Zouma has a great tackle on him.
